EE announces refreshed range of SIM-only tariffs

EE has unveiled a new range of 12 month SIM-only tariffs for anyone who buys a SIM-free phone and wants to take advantage of its fast 4G speeds and extensive network coverage.

The plans are split into three tiers: 4GEE Essential, 4GEE and 4GEE Max. 4GEE Essential plans are for those who perhaps don't use their phone too much and start at £9.99/month for 250 minutes, 250MB data and unlimited texts. The Essential plan SIMs are locked to a 20Mbps 4G data transfer limit. There are three Essential plans in total:
